GPLv3 draft moves forward, Torvalds unimpressed

,----[ Quote ]
| "Nothing fundamental seems to have really changed," said Torvalds," so
| GPLv3 is pretty much irrelevant for the kernel. Other projects, that
| don't have the 'v2 only' limitation, will be more impacted."
| 
| Thus, with Torvalds opposition, it seems unlikely that the Linux kernel
| will be switched to GPLv3.
